These reports are available to logged-in contributors, depending on your membership level.

A monthly report is sent to all contributors, and includes additional comparative data, along with testimonials from reporters and successes from contributors. Top stories in each category are also featured.

Enhance Your News with Embedded Multimedia

Embedded images, videos, and audio features help journalists to choose the smart news they want to cover. They can preview a prospective expert source or visualize an illustration that deepens their understanding of important research.

Expert Pitch

Get your expert in the “first-day” story with Expert Pitch. Respond quickly to breaking news with a brief pitch about your expert, bypassing the need to write an extensive news release. Your pitch will be sent out to reporters via social media feeds including @Expert_Pitch on Twitter, Facebook, and the Expert Pitch section. Newswise members, click “Contribute an Expert Pitch” in the site menu to submit your expert.

Expert Pitch is intended for response to breaking news events covered by major media outlets. For other ways to promote your experts, see Expert Feature below.

Tips for a Successful Expert Pitch:

Who: Provide the expert’s name, title, affiliation.

What: Describe your expert’s area of expertise and the current news story they can comment on.

Why: Detail some of your expert’s unique credentials, and if possible, include some quotations, a head shot, and info on the expert’s media training. (optional)

Expert Feature

The Expert Feature type news release is intended for fully written news releases about your experts, such as a researcher with a book being published, or an op-ed written by a professor. This type of article is typically about your researcher or institution, without being directly in response to a national breaking news story. To submit an expert feature, choose the “Feature” story type on the Newswise contribution form.

Expert Query

Reporters may submit an Expert Query to request a source to comment in a piece they are currently writing. The Expert Query request is then emailed to Newswise members, who can respond directly to the reporter. Newswise members can request to receive Expert Queries by contacting our staff at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Categories, Sections, Search, Archives, and Channels

In addition to email distribution through the Newswise Wires, all news releases are posted on our source news site, in multiple locations. Each news release is available in the Latest News section at the moment it is released, as well as one of more of the following sections:

Breaking and Feature News Topics

Releases may be included in the Feature and Breaking News Channels, which are special sections organized by topic. Any news release posted on Newswise relevant to a Breaking or Feature News Channel topic may be added to these sections, increasing the exposure of your news to journalists browsing the Newswise site.

Search

A robust search engine quickly accesses more than 100,000 news releases from 1997 to the present.

Promote Your Meeting with a Newswise Meeting Wire

Meeting Wires are an opportunity for medical and scientific associations to showcase their latest research findings. Newswise members can request an exclusive wire containing only their press releases related to the Meeting, to be distributed to journalists on a selected day.

Expert Queries - Interview Requests from Reporters

Newswise provides an Expert Query feature for our registered media users. They submit a request for an expert to interview, with a brief explanation for the topic of the interview and their assignment, and they indicate whether they would like to be contacted by phone or email. Newswise then sends this request to eligible Newswise members - Non-profits and higher education institutions. If you would like more information on Expert Queries and how to sign up for them, please contact us at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
